Detroit, MI. With the Detroit Tigers taking three out of four from Boston over the weekend, and with the demotion of number 46 Papa Grande, things are looking up. Drew Smyly has given Jim Leyland a reason to smile. Last year at this time, their record was 35 wins and 37 losses, but their 2013 record is 42 wins and 32 losses. Let’s not forget what happened in the 2nd half of last year’s season. They caught fire in the second half. After that, they went on to almost win the World Series before running into a hotter ball club. Who knows what is yet to come for the 2013 Tigers? News and notes about the Tigers that Jeremiahboyce.com learned on Sunday. It will be interesting to follow Mr. Avila and Mr. Dombrowski, as they will be drawing up the contracts on Phil Coke and Alex Avila. Also at the end of the year, number 27 Jhonny Peralta will be another one that the Tigers are trying to resign. They are trying to resign a native from Southfield Michigan, Darin Downs. They will also be trying to resign other key parts to their bullpen. Look for the Tigers to reach 50 wins by the time the all star game rolls around. They have a three game series with the Halos starting tomorrow, before they hit the road to face the hot Toronto Blue Jays. The trip will then take them to Cleveland before they close out the first half of the season. Mr. Jim Leyland will be the American League manager at the 2013 all star game at CITI Field in New York City. He has earned the right to be manager of the year from last year’s win over the New York Yankees in the championship series winning the pennant.
